Blogg 09/08/2012 No energy to blogg…

 

Weather - drought continues. There is a burn ban here but a fire almost every day. Today one got very near a small town near here. Could have been tragic. Glad it was not.

I have no energy to blogg. Far too stressed. We are now hauling water to our cattle. There is not enough grass growing so we still have to feed them. Without rain, is there any use to planting wheat this autumn? And the scary thing is, this is probably our new norm. I do not like it.

Blogg 23/07/2012 Last week & photos…

 

Weather continues really hot. Always at least 104+. God, help us. Is grass supposed to crunch when one walks on it??

Last week was busy. I went to Wichita to shop and to see my diabetic doctor. I was almost scared to see him. My blood sugars have been so flaky. But. I lost 4 pounds and he made no changes. Thinking I might be fighting a cold or something. And the heat. And the constant stress. It all takes it toll. Also had a mini-class reunion. That was sooo much fun!! There was 20 of us. Oh, for the laughs and memories. Love our times together. They are not my class mates. Most of the friends I had in high school never talked to me once we graduated. These friends are 2 years older and are so much fun. And have adopted me!

Had some sad times lately. Our town had 3 doctors. The hospital board fired one, then a second one resigned. Leaves just one doc and one PA and I have heard the PA may leave. Well, lots of luck replacing them. Who in their right mind takes a job where things are that bad? Then the end of last week a young man around 17 was killed in a car accident. I did not know him but have known his mother for a long time. So, so sad. Nice kid.

Made a new friend a couple of weeks ago and another one last week. Both are very nice and fun and kind. I am blessed. Now some photos. Having way too much fun with my iPhone!!!

Blogg 11/07/2012 Fun times…

 

Weather is getting hotter again. This weekend it is back to the 100s. Took a drive with friends and it is heartbreaking to see the dead and dried up corn fields, dried up ponds, scorched earth. And we are doing nothing to save our environment. Sad and scary. We got 2 wheat fields burned today and one yesterday. As dry as it is, it is scary.

On tuesday I went on a road trip with 3 friends. Two of them were extras when the movie Picnic was filmed here in Kansas. So we visited all the places it was filmed in. We went to Nickerson, Halstead, and Sterling. We had lunch in Yoder at an Amish restaurant that is beyond great. And about 15 kinds of pie to choose from. Then back to Lindsborg for a stop at the Öl Stuga for some cold drinks. It was a perfect day!!!! Great to have one of those.

 

Today I decided just to be lazy. And did a fair job!! I skipped the knitting café I usually go to. Just tired. Then I got an invite to the White Peacock for tea. Could not say no to that. Nice to be there and to have a great visit.

  The rest of the day I did a little housework and chatted with a friend on FaceBook. He is a new friend there. And amazed he asked to be my friend. But I am usually amazed when someone asks!! Just me!! Fun chatting!!

Tomorrow I am going out to lunch with the grandkids. Was Chris’ birthday and tomorrow is Ashley’s birthday. Be great to be with both of them again!!!
